and reached the place two days ahead OF
the others. The nugget was found, loaded
on the back Of a mule, and the two had a
start Of day and a half. They journeyed
about forty miles, buried the lump near a
mining camp, and staked out a claim and
went to work as a part of the program to
preserve their secret. They remained in
camp for six weeks, and then left on foot,
their mule having been stolen. What
happened to them and the nugget is not
known, or at least has not been stated.
The next time the big lump was heard
| from it was unearthed in the Hot Creek
mountains of Nevada by three miners
| who had come from California. The fact
that they dug it up and had it in their pos
session was known to a band of SO 0 II 70
immigrants, with whom the trio travelled
for several days. Everybody gota look at
the lump, and its history was related by
one of the possessors.
Before crossing the line into California
the three men and the nugget left the
train secretly and were never heard of
again. 1t was three years before the mug
get was heard Of again, and information Of
its Whereabouts then came through a half
breed Indian, who was dying at a military
post in Colorado. He told a sergeant Of
cavalry where it could be found, and the
sergeant and two private soldiers deserted
and went to secure it. They were tracked
to a mountain about so miles away and
were found to have dug up something and
headed tor Kansas. They were followed
for a day and a half, and then the bodies
of the two privates were found on the
ground shot through the head. The ser
geant had murdered them in order to have
the prize all to himself. Civil officers all
over Kansas and Nebraska were notified
to be on the lookout for the deserter and
murderer, but to this day no one cal tel
what befell him. The big nugget has been
heard of in an indirect and round about
way several times since, and it has always
been understood that it was in the hands
of the Indians. Something definite as tC
its exact location must have been learned
this fall, or an expedition would not be
preparing to set out at the opening of win
ter. The lost nugget is no doubt the
largest mass of crude gold ever discovered
in California, and perhaps in the world
and if an expedition of five or six men Cal
succeed in getting possession of it at thi'
time, there is q fortune in it for each and
every one.

WAsHINGT ON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WARRINGTON, Jan. 8, 1887.
When congress reassembled after its
holiday vacation of two weeks, formal an
nouncement was made in both ends of the
Capitol of the death of Gen. Logan. As is
customary, both the senate and the house
adjourned Immediately as mark of re-
| spect to his memory. Consequently on
gress has worked but three days 80 Tar
this week, and can make but a poor show
ing even for that length of time.
Three representatives in the lower
branch of congress have not been seen in
Washington since Gen. Logan died. They
are Illinois congressmea, they each want
the place left vacant by the dead senator,
and each is at home scheming and plotting
to this end. They are Gen. Henderson,
and Messrs. Cannon and Payson. They
are considered strong men and good work
| ers by their party in the house, and the
republicans would be sorry to have any
one of them leave the lower branch.
1t is a significant fact that in some hun
| dred messages and letters of coincidence
received by Mrs. Logan upon her hus-
bands death, only two had any illusions
to the consultations of religion. These two
exceptions are by Col. John Hay, the au-
thor Of Jim Bludsal, and Stephen A.
| Douglass, both of whom said may God
comfort and sustain you" Fifty years ago
it would have been unheard of to omit
such an invocation, and a message of con-
dolence that lacked the religious element,
would have seemed a mockery.
One of the cherished plans of the late
senator Logan was to establish in this city
an institution for the education of the sons
of soldiers of the late war. 1t made no
difference on which side the father fought,
Gen. Logan thought a soldiers son should
be furnished with means for an education.
He first spoke of this plan about the time
Gen. Grant died, when in view of the pro-
posed interment of his remains at the
national capital some kind of a memorial
was to be erected in honor Of him. "Why
not put the money that would be appro-
priated,' remarked Gen. Logan, Tin an
institution of learning and thus confer a
worthy tribute to Grant? | am sure moth
ing would have pleased him more"
Although another disposition was made
e a. d,oJ Gan Torou did not obeuHon
his idea, but formulated a plan for a SOL
dier's college which lie intended to pre-
sent during this session Of congress.
Funds for its support were to be raised by
an assessment Of fifty cents on every men,
Der of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and by having scholarships endowed by
those who favored the project. It is prob
able now that some other statesman will

Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1887-07-31

We cannot now divide up the land.
and if we did ii would not
be right. for an inch in.New York City Is
worth acres elsewhere. All we have to do
is TO give each an equal share, not pre-
ciselv in the land, but in the increasing
yalue of the land. In that way we make
all %landholders. The man who has a
niece of valuable land would pay an amount
which. going TO the community, would he
used for the good of all, and having TO do
that he wouldn't take up the land unless
he wanted it.. What we want lsslmply to
give all the children of God an equal
chance.
The speaker here referred to the big
ight made against him at the recent
election in New York City by the rich
men. and said they did it because they
knew this simple scheme would strike at
the heart of their great wealth, and Tor the
time being they fought it down. Con-
tinuing he said:
We hold that no one has the right to
demand work of anyone else. God didn't
make man
on THAT BASIS.
He put man in the world with everything
necessary, and he ought to have the
chance. Once open the opportunity to
unskilled labor to 20 onto the land, open
our mines, etc, and you will find the pres
sure on the labor market relieved.
He said all men could become farmers;
that was the one thing every one could do
But all need not do it. If the land was
opened all would not 90 on il, but enough
would 90 to relieve the pressure. lie said:
1t ought not to be hard for men to live
in a world as rich as this. We sometimes
say that there is too much wealth. This
is a mistake. The trouble Is in the I'M
lust distribution. Under the new dispen-
sation
TRANIPS AND MILIOSAIRES
would 20. We would cease having the
very poor and the very rich, and there
would be enough of the Uecessarles and
Injuries of life for all. Once We establish
society upon the fundamental principal,
and we will rapidly mount to Il condition
When the necessity for hard toll Will he
forgotten. Christ told his disciples to
take no thought for the morrow, either
as to what We shall eat, OF what ye shall
drink, OF what We shall put ON. II we
would do Us lie commanded, this
would be a possibility for AL, do TO
others a. ye would that they would do
unto Won" and there would be- no
trouble, and 1t is lur this
that the cross of the new crusade has been
elevated. aud for this that such ministers
OF God rs DIR. McGlynn and Others have
gone out to battle. The struggle has com
mencrd. and it must 20 on 10 the end.
Our faith is becoming wider and deeper.

States, and it is for you now 10 study and
take sides in the great battle that is
beginning.

became quite Il feature toward the last,
| and disputes concerning II were the cause,
| OF several little tistIcuils.
Both clubs played well, and made Z
very interesting game which, however,
was broken up in the ninth inning on ar
| count of a rank decision by the umpir,
against Wheeling.
The real fun did not begin, until about
six o'clock, at which time those who had
bihrd the amber lluid. and caroused about
the grounds instead of hearing Mr.. George,
became hilarious. Scrap alter scrap
took place, both sexes being represented
among the pugillsts.
One huge colorcd woman, weighing
probably one hundred and eighty pounds,
got full OF hoozc and threatened 10 ami
hiIate one Of the little drummer boys.
The kid struck her in the face, setting heT
down Hat in the dust.
William Henry, one OF the Executive
Committee, got into a fight with another
man and was pulled in. II took five pc,
liccmcn TO get him to the Fair Grounds

the place to keep him there.
4 few minutes later Earnest Rust was
pulled near the COlOrcd dancing platform
and brought to the lookup on the grounds.
He broke away from the officers and
fought desperately before he was retakem.
While lie and Henry were in the lookup a
crowd of their friends, numbering perhaps
one hundred, collected about the trail
building and acted IA though they would
tear it down, as they probably would have
done had not Captain Smith ccntered all
his men at that spot and menaced the
threatening mob. Later Henry was taken
to the city lookup and Rust turned out on
bail.
Several women had to be sent of the
grounds to keep order, three Of that sex
